NORTH CAROLINA WELCOMES TERRORISTS

To the fine folks in North Carolina. Are you going to confront this? I sincerely hope so. Those of us with a political voice in Kansas are doing everything we can to stop our PC governor from doing the same thing here. Good luck to all of you!

Hey, if they think the terrorists will vote for higher taxes, the Dems will probably gerrymander districts for them.

"Given California’s reaction to this issue, Democratic Governor Mike Easley should be quaking in his political boots. However, most North Carolinians are unaware that their state is issuing licenses to illegal immigrants!"

California had and has a recall procedure, for times like this.

Does North Carolina? Governor? Legislature? DMV administration?

Heads roll, and laws/regulations can be CHANGED.

I just sent this out by email to my NC friends.

During the "Dark Ages" , English monks nailed the skins of Vikings to the doors of monasteries, churches, and castles. They would also hang the skinned bodies on poles near shoreline as a deterrent to others.
I don't know if that's legal anymore but it could be food for thought.
Also, this whole thing with the automatic citizenship simply be birth in American is an inverse Trojan horse.
Finally, hospitals, etc that didn't report illegal aliens should lose government funding.
Just some topics for discussion.

But as a libertarian I should oppose the requirement to give a Social Security number to get a driver's license should I not? I should support a state that allows another number to be used instead right?

Fran Shubert for governor! She is really spunky, sharp with great conservative principles, very sincere, a real straight shooter.

Interesting article but... the rules did change last week as part of the "Operation Stop Fraud" program. Under the new rules, license applicants will need two forms of ID and a document showing that they live in North Carolina.

Unacceptable forms of ID will include expired licenses, individual tax identification numbers and licenses and other identification cards issued by the Mexican government -- including the popular matricula consular, an identity card issued by the government through its consulates.

Approved identification will include valid licenses from other states or Canada, Social Security cards, valid immigration papers and state vehicle registration or title certificates.

Sad, a friend of mine lives in North Carolina, he tells me many parts are now resembling Tijuana Mexico.....

On the plus side, 10 years ago you couldn't get good Mexican food here, now there are many great Mexican restaurants.

NC *Ping*

Let me, or MYkdsmom, or Constitution Day know if you want on or off the NCPing list or if you think you've been accidentally dropped or ....

They expect us to solve this problem, and we know that our corrupt government won't do anything to help a Republican President unless he promises them a favor of some sort...

“The IRS recently sent letters to all 50 governors, asking them to instruct their motor vehicles agencies not to accept the ITINs.”

I am living in North Carolina, and the only hope I see is to get the Feds to freeze all federal money headed to NC for any purpose till the law is changed and the DMV complies.

If the Feds stopped the money I think that would take about 2 hours.

I feel sorry for my native state.

North Carolina - El Norte Carolina

With the Blue Ridge mountains to the west and the beaches of the Outer Banks to the east, North Carolina has suddenly become The Destination for new Latino immigrants. Since the last census, the Triangle (and Raleigh’s Wake County in particular) has experienced a nearly 500 percent increase in its Hispanic population of mostly Mexicans. It started with the economic boom of the ’90s and huge demands for unskilled labor in the construction, poultry and meat-processing, and hospitality industries. That’s transforming what used to be a black-white duopoly into an increasingly diverse area. Of the Triangle’s 1,031,600 residents, about 5 percent are Hispanic. That sounds tiny, but the area’s receiving 10,000 new arrivals annually.

We have no power until a regular election, and then only the "corrupt ones" or the "party chosen one" (the party power- group never chooses a candidate with strength or a moral backbone) can raise any money.

For instance, Fern is running for Governor, but she has no hope against the money boys who "know how to play the game" (the same game that has been played for a century). She has only raised $10K dollars.

They are already being sued, and the rules change will not stand up in court, unless they make some legislative changes.

Lets see, North Carolina is being over run with illegal 3rd worlders and your concerned about buying a taco?

Good Lord.....

Yeah, but a lot of them are "going native". They're becoming Evangelicals and Pentacostals. They have bumper stickers that say "Yo (heart) Jesus." Of course, I have no way of knowing, just like anybody else, which Hispanics are illegal and which are not, just by looking at them.

I'm glad they changed that DMV rule, though. I don't think an illegal with a driver's license is any "safer" than one without a license. (That was one of the arguments the activists used to try to prevent the rule change. That the highways would be safer if we gave driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.)
